Casting

Casting is always an important part of film production, because if the actors aren't very good then the whole outcome can seem unbelievable. Seeing as our documentary is going to be on a sensitive topic in which we want it to look like a real story, we needed good actors. 

The roles we needed filling were:

FEMALE ACTRESSES:

- victim in the interview

- victim in the reconstruction

- friend of the victim

MALE ACTORS:

- attacker in CCTV footage

- attacker in reconstruction

- rescuer in reconstruction

- rescuer in interview

We needed the two different actors/actresses in the reconstruction and interview to be of a similar age as one would be playing the "real" victim and the events in which occurred.
